joe's article on multiple regressions is good but it doesnt actually speak to the issue i was interested in here it just suggests that their attempts to apply statistical analysis could have other variables not taken into acct which i can totally understand, i.e. the diff between rural & city drinkers

but i had never really thought abt the deadly dangers of drunk walking & hit & runs are obv common in some areas based purely on the stats the present up front before even making their argument

no ive clearly been made fun of here before but you literally do just make up shit sometimes, like claiming that i thought nicki minaj was good b/c she was with mizay rather than that just being a name for the era when she was at her best; in general my exp engaging w/ you on ilx is that you sort of presume the worst abt what i 'actually think' like you're constantly trying to bag on me as a dumbass or something & its kind of frustrating to watch personally, like dude, i know everyone's not as smart as you but really, i swear i'm not as stupid as you seem to think i am

like, nothing about 'mizay-era minaj' is dumb! its just a description of a period of her career! and you decided to read into that that i was somehow the only person on earth who associated musical output with management

which 1st off is totally untrue -- lots of people do & i'm sure there are cases where management did have an effect, but

2nd, i never made any causation argument there anyway, just observed that this was when her music was best to me.

its like u just want to beat up on me out of boredom or something which, lol ilx, but im letting you know right here that its kind of annoying

the first time deej casually said "Mizay" to me like i was supposed to understand exactly what that name means was right after he declared "there's no way a dude like Lil Durk has as many actual youtube views as Bo Deal" and i was like okay man i don't have the right tunnel vision for this conversation
